Bai Kamara Jr & The Voodoo Sniffers new album: Traveling Medicine Man (03.03.2023)
Three years after the release of his critically acclaimed album Salone, Bai Kamara Jr returns with Traveling Medicine Man, a 13 track collection of afro-blues songs portrayed in Bai’s unique style. In a descriptive,
provocative and sometimes suggestive way, the tales of love, life, relationships and politics are meticulously explored by the raconteur.
“Traveling Medicine Man is the continuation of my introspective journey through my roots and my perpetual quest to make my two homes, Africa and Europe, coexist within me. The title was inspired by my maternal grandfather Tinka Tanner Kargbo, born in 1901 in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone. He was educated by Protestant missionaries and later traveled with them across the country to help provide medical care to villagers and townspeople. I was fortunate enough to have spent some time with my grandfather when I was still a child, and one of the things that fascinated me the most about him was his ability to reconcile his Christian beliefs with his traditional African beliefs and customs.”
- Bai Kamara Jr
For the making of this album Bai brought his touring band, The Voodoo Sniffers, into the studio; these exceptional musicians contributed to Bai’s unique and evolving sound. With a percussive nature at the heart of the arrangements this rootsy blues is spiced up with an afro vibe, making you want to get up and dance more often than not.

The Pierre Vervloesem Group at Freakshow Artwork Festival (30 September)
The freaking cool Pierre Vervloesem group will be present at the Freakshow Artwork Festival in Würzburg !
The non-commercial music initiative FreakShow Würzburg, supported by the non-profit association GALERIE 03, has been bringing top-class performers of jazz and avant-rock, zeuhl, jazzmetal, chamber rock, as well as retroprog bands together with young and/or unknown names of progressive rock music on stage for more than 17 years.
Over the years, the scene has gained a reputation far beyond the borders of Würzburg as a forum for high-quality music beyond the mass trends of rock and pop.
The FreakShow Würzburg feels very attached to the ideal of curiosity for 'the unheard' and therefore strives to always keep an open ear for new things, especially for the more oblique and complex ramifications of progressive rock.

Didier Laloy Symphonic at PIF 2022 with clarinettist Fabrizio Meloni in Castelfidardo (30 September)
Didier Laloy will perform at PIF 2022 with clarinettist Fabrizio Meloni and The Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Runchak
Didier Laloy discovered the accordion from the age of 13 and from there he became recognized as one of the most active representatives of the renaissance of the diatonic accordion in Europe. Over the years he has defined his style through the “freedom of creation”, which consists in following his personal needs and, above all, in bringing his audience to places still unknown. He has collaborated with many talented artists both on the Belgian and international scene, also carrying out personal projects.
On the clarinet there will be Fabrizio Meloni, first solo clarinet of the Orchestra del Teatro and Filarmonica della Scala since 1984. Fabrizio has toured in the United States and Israel with the Italian Wind Quintet. With the Nuovo Quintetto Italiano he has actively toured in South America and South East Asia. His concert tour in Japan with P. Moll and I Solisti della Scala was met with enthusiastic acclaim from audiences and critics. He has numerous recordings to his credit.
The Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Runchak will accompany the two musicians throughout the performance.
